In today's fast-paced world of fleet management, access to detailed vehicle data plays a crucial role in maintaining operational efficiency, vehicle health, and reducing maintenance costs. With the new extended parameters available for Teltonika FMx150 series and its IP67 version FMx250 series, fleet owners now have greater access to vital CAN data insights that ensure vehicles perform optimally while preventing unplanned downtime.
GREATER CAPABILITIES WITH EXTENDED CAN PARAMETERS
FMx150 vehicle GPS trackers now provide access to a wide range of new CAN parameters including total engine hours, engine oil level, engine oil temperature, exhaust fluid (aka AdBlue) tank level, engine oil pressure, engine air intake pressure, door lock status, gross vehicle weight and more. These advanced metrics provide a new level of control and understanding of your fleet's performance.
For example, fleet managers can better predict when maintenance is needed, preventing engine failure or costly breakdowns. Tracking door lock status enhances security, allowing real-time monitoring of whether a vehicle is securely locked or unlocked. In addition, gross vehicle weight provides vital information for regulatory compliance and fuel efficiency monitoring, ensuring your fleet operates within legal limits and optimises fuel consumption.
The value of more CAN data points goes beyond simple monitoring. These insights can improve decision-making around vehicle utilisation, preventive maintenance and driver behaviour. As a result, fleet owners and managers can effectively plan vehicle maintenance based on actual usage and wear, rather than relying on outdated time-based schedules, saving both time and money in the long run.
KEY BENEFITS FOR YOUR BUSINESS
The introduction of new on-demand parameters for Teltonika FMx150 and FMx250 offers multiple key business advantages:
- Enhanced fleet health management - by monitoring vital engine and vehicle data, you can detect potential issues early, preventing unexpected failures and extending the lifespan of your vehicles.
- Increased efficiency in maintenance - plan maintenance based on real-time data, allowing for predictive servicing, reducing downtime, and avoiding unnecessary maintenance.
- Improved operational security - door lock status monitoring ensures that vehicles are securely locked when not in use, increasing safety for both cargo and drivers.
- Fuel efficiency and cost savings - with data on gross combination vehicle weight, fleet managers can ensure vehicles are properly loaded, which helps optimise fuel consumption, improving overall cost-effectiveness.
- Regulatory compliance - accurate weight monitoring ensures compliance with transport regulations, avoiding fines, and potential operational halts.
- Reduced downtime - the ability to monitor parameters, such as engine oil pressure and air intake pressure allows fleet managers to identify the potential issues before they lead to breakdowns, keeping vehicles on the road and maximising productivity.
In closing, the extended parameters of Teltonika FMx150 and FMx250 series open up a wealth of new possibilities for fleet managers and business owners. By providing critical CAN data insights, these GPS devices are designed to help you optimise fleet performance, improve vehicle health, and increase overall business efficiency.
